Exploring AWS Transform Custom: Part 1 of 3

AWS Transform Custom: AWS CDK TypeScript to AWS CDK Python Conversion Welcome to Part 1 of my three-part series exploring AWS Transform (ATX Custom) for code modernization. We’ll start with a foundational language conversion, progress to infrastructure-as-code transformations, and end with a complex legacy application modernization to experiment and (hopefully) demonstrate the capabilities of ATX Custom! :)

Refactoring of a static site deployment, from Terraform to AWS CDK

Refactoring of a static site deployment, from TF to AWS CDK Intro Personal projects are fun, especially when you have the flexibility to choose your provisioner. In my case, I initially deployed the static site via Terraform. I realized shortly after, that.. even though it did what I wanted it to.. it may not scale in the way that I’d like it to.

Deploying the AWS-ServiceBroker prerequisites using Terraform

aws-servicebroker-tf I was unable to find a Terraform version of the CloudFormation stack that deploys the prerequisites for AWS-ServiceBroker. I’ve since created this in Terraform, along with improving upon some of the initial concepts adapted in the CloudFormation template.

HashiCorp Terraform AWS Provider v3.4.0 now supports aws_emr_managed_scaling_policy

HashiCorp Terraform AWS-Provider Issue #13952 was highly sought after for a recent implementation of EMR v5.30.0. The requirements included the need for the utilization of AWS Auto Scaling for EMR. We sought out the AWS EMR Managed Scaling feature, but were sad to see that support for that attribute was not in the AWS provider yet.
